SPMI

Service institute in the service of the Swiss precious metals sector

The Swiss Precious Metals Institute (SPMI) is a think tank for the precious metals sector. Accordingly, SPMI deals with all topics related to precious metals. Our experts act as an independent expert body in the form of professional consultations. SPMI’s services are geared to the needs of the precious metals sector and revolve around the concerns of the various stakeholders.

SPMI promotes transparency as well as a common understanding of human rights compliant, socially and environmentally responsible mining and production of precious metals as well as a responsible supply chain. Our experts advise and support you and your teams in your initiatives regarding legal, economic, ethical and environmental aspects to ensure the excellence and exemplary nature of the Swiss precious metals sector. We are the leading source of contact and information for all issues affecting the precious metals sector and are in dialogue with business and political leaders.

Our commitment

The SPMI is the central point of contact and competent intermediary for all stakeholders from the precious metals sector

SPMI sees itself as the competence center for the precious metals sector in Switzerland. Accordingly, not only specific consulting services, but also training and education events are offered to all those who directly or indirectly come into contact with the precious metals sector. In this sense, our services and professional support are not only directed to a specific stakeholder group of the sector, but to all those who are interested and/or involved in the sector. Thus, we are not a mono-focused but rather a multi-focused service organization, as we are convinced that only by taking into account the needs of all stakeholders can the precious metals sector move forward in an efficient, transparent and sustainable manner.
